Could you share an hour a week with Umar?
Umar lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Umar, who's 79. Umar lives alone in Semarang, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Umar loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Heraklion so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Madrid.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Laval.
